Bio
Welcome to my blog Photography by Allen Beatty. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
I have been taking photographs since 1965 having originally started after realizing I had no talent for painting. So I decided to "paint" with my camera.
I have won numerous awards and prizes for my work. My first was the grand prize in a contest sponsored by the St. Thomas Chamber of Commerce while on my honeymoon with my wife of 50 years, Susan.
Since then I have been cited by my camera club seven times for it's Top Award and twice each for Slide of the Month and Print of the month. I have had two photos published by the Newark Star-Ledger for it’s "Our Towns" contest and four photos in the book Great Destinations: NJ. I also have had an exhibit of 30 of my prints recently in my home town library.
When I am taking pictures I get lost in the concentration and it is indeed therapeutic. As you can tell from the galleries my favorite subjects are abstracts, landscapes, cityscapes, travel pictorials, flowers, Italy, and New Jersey ( yes, it's actually more than highways and chemical plants ). Sometimes the subject is obvious because of it's inherent beauty and sometimes my eye is able to isolate a subject from it's surroundings. The bottom line is I just love bringing to life in photographic prints what I see.
At the urging of friends and family I decided to publish my images online.
